Things That Make You Fail Your Driving Test
Failing a driving test is a common experience for many, but understanding the typical reasons for failure can help prevent it.
Here’s a breakdown of some of the most frequent pitfalls that lead to test failures and tips on how to avoid them.
One of the top reasons candidates fail is not making effective observations at junctions. Examiners look for thorough checks before and while entering a junction. Failing to observe properly at a junction—by not adequately checking all directions—can lead to a fault, especially if it impacts the safety of other road users. Always remember to take your time, look carefully in every direction, and assess the flow of traffic before proceeding.
Mirrors are essential for safe driving, and neglecting them is a quick way to fail. Whether it’s changing lanes, turning, or simply moving off, checking your mirrors is critical. Examiners are keenly watching how frequently and consistently you check your mirrors to ensure you’re aware of your surroundings.
